The best ever! just go and study the overall level of defending in football when all the greats played its at its highest level now with coverage of all the games to analyze a player and stop him(defenders are also quick now)

I think this was one of the best, maybe top 3 of Messi's seasons. He was doing everything in attack. Only season of Christiano that I can compare is 2011/2012 season, where despite scoring more goals, he had a better attacking squad. In this season Messi did everything in attack, perfected his free kicks and scored with right foot too.

All I hear is Messi gets the ball and the little magician scores or assists or dribbles against 3 or more players while other greats do it not as consistent as Lionel Messi........ You can say he's not the greatest but I'll bet my life that you won't find another player like Messi nor will someone ever play like him or scores like him, assist like him , mesmerizing the game like him consistently.......

No one would’ve batted an eye if they won Champions league. He’s the reason they were 3-0 in the tie to begin with. How the fuck is he supposed to control the shocking tactics and dreadful defensive decisions of his teammates. More than deserved the Balon d’or, but I do feel for Van Dijk. I’d have personally given it to him, but either way, you cannot say Messi DIDNT deserve it.

I know he is getting older but this guy is still in his prime. Every season he plays like he did in youth. Nothing changed. Just he does not have the pace he did back then but this guy's playing still didn't change one bit.
